Very peaceful

The cabin overall is great . A bat still flies about at night and we only caught one mouse . The shower head still needs to be changed to a higher flow so the water heater will kick in too . the new futon was nice too

Disappointed that No toilet paper or hand soap provided. Cleaning supplies were minimal! No glass cleaner etc. The futon cover is super gross, I instantly covered that with a sheet upon arrival.. The bathroom rugs provided also, pretty dirty and gross. I mopped up some large dust bunnies and tried to give the place a good cleaning but we only stayed for one night and I couldnt spend my whole time doing that.. Next time I will donate rugs, cleaning supplies and a futon cover. The location is beautiful and very accessible.

I absolutely loved this cabin, the water is directly across the street and the fire pit and creek were very peaceful. The only negative thing I can say is the water heater must be broken because our showers were ice cold, and we had to keep ice in coolers because the freezer didnt work well. With that said Ill definitely rent this cabin in the future,plenty of room and amazing fun to be had with family.

Good experience with good fishing right across from the cabin.

The cabin was very clean and tidy and we loved our stay. The front porch is a fabulous place for morning coffee and we had breakfast daily at the picnic table listening to Avery Creek. The cabin interior is dark and we needed lights on even during the day. We saw only one mouse; we kept our food in Tupperware containers, and placed chips, bread etc. in the car at night so had no problems. A quick walk to the river where we swam (COLD) and saw a bald eagle, beaver and momma duck with ducklings. We hiked the trail, behind the garage, along Avery Creek it was beautiful, but there are many trees down, so it was slow and tricky. I highly recommend Avery Creek Cabin and would love to return next year. The driveway/parking area could be tricky for big vehicles to get turned around.

Due to vehicle problems we were unable to arrive on our due date, being forced to lose one night. We arrived early evening on what was supposed to be our full day at the cabin. We almost cancelled the entire stay, but very glad we didn't The cabin was clean, spacious enough for us and two grandsons. We enjoyed a campfire, the river and being surrounded by very tall pine trees. Avery Creek is certainly on a future list of visits! Great place!

very well kept up!!

Wonderful location. We did catch a few mice in the traps provided, but they were not scurrying around when we were in the cabin and had been warned of their presence. Kitchen is very well equipped.

The cabin is infested with mice and bats. We live on a farm so pests don’t really bother us but we were constantly cleaning up mouse and bat droppings. On the counters, bathroom, shower, and even the bed! It was kind of gross honestly. We regularly rent fire lookouts and have never experienced this.

We loved it's convenient location to all the places we were hiking and to the river. We were a little disappointed that it was that close to the road and the noise of the traffic. It appeared to be clean (no visible food or dirt). However, did not like the nightly mice visitors we had inside. We caught 4 mice in 3 nights.

There was plenty of kitchenware-Utensils, dishes, pots, etc. Although the cabin was on a paved road, it was higher and was private with little traffic noise.
Great bicycling On 208 and elsewhere and the Coal Creek Trail is a gem.

We had a good time and love the cabin. Others need to know we had a young bear at the back door, so need to be observant. Also, missed the anarondack chairs that used to be on front porch, but probably removed because of the covid virus.

The Avery Creek cabin is a hidden gem. It was so much more than what I had expected. It's actually quite beautiful and I wish I had been able to spend more than just one night there. It's very quiet, there are zero neighbors. The kitchen is full service, hot and cold running water. Dishes, glasses, cups, utensils. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with hot and cold water! I couldn't believe it! What a find. It is a 1-minute walk across the street and down hill to the river, where I caught some beautiful trout. Bring your own towels, if you wish to take a shower. Also bring sheets and pillows, or sleeping bag. That's really all you need. I have both AT&T and Verizon cell phones and I had no coverage on either. But the fire pit outside was great, as were the metal sticks that we used for s'mores, and the stars were spectacular.

My husband renovated this cabin years ago and we finally had the pleasure of staying here. Everything was wonderful except the weather, but we made due. We love the area and the accommodations were prefect!! We plan on going back whenever we’re able to book it.
